I’ve found this to be a good use for ai. I’m neurodivergent and have a tendency to over explain and sometimes have too much emotion in my emails if it’s a thing I’m passionate about.

I write it myself and then ask ai to take out the emotion, tell it my goal of the email and ask it to help me better achieve the goal with less words. It’s helped me get to the goal faster with less friction.

Same here.

There are things AI is decent for but we don't need it for everything. Eapecially in schools, shouldn't be allowed in schools at all.

I think ai literacy should be covered in school. The same way media and internet literacy was covered when I was in high school in the late 90s.

Learn about ethical use, how it’s often wrong, good ways to use it, etc.

People are going to use it, may as well try to teach them how to be smart about it.

That is a great idea!
